Guess it's possible to do a 6 month re-tax in Sept '24 so VED runs out on 28 Feb then do a 12 month renewal from 1 Mar 25

Nice to see progress being made, can't wait for this to open.

Can you just re-tax March 2025?

The final battle: Volvo vs Opel rocks e

What's the battery chemistry?

Huddersfield seems like a bit of a DC charging dead spot. Hopefully that will change soon..

If I missed this in March 2024, can I do the same steps in March 2025? Am I right to think of I voluntarily retax my EV in March 2025, the VED charge will still be zero?

Incredible solar canopies

Great video. Impressive warranty on that!

great video mate

Great Video Rob will show this to Dee who wants a big car for Nursing visits. Its a lot cheaper that a Y.

On paper it looks incredible value.

Brilliant video - thanks for the opportunity!

I would never had noticed this without your video. Passenger side was fine but driver side full of water and grime. Bought the caps you suggested and the fit like a dream. Thanks for posting this.

How much would the dealer charge for installation? Im interested in installing a few including the shark aerial.

Great tip thanks 👍

Just fitted mine. Driver side has pool of water, passenger was ok. Great vid.

Did this modification with the indicators (only) today. But after attaching the mirrors again I can’t seem to be able to adjust in all angles, both mirrors 😢 don’t know what I did wrong. On one of the sides I couldn’t even adjust it up again after pulling it off. The motor just made a clicking sound. I guess I just have to send the car to the shop to fix it 🥺

they’re out of stock on ebay 😢

Any charging bays for vehicles with trailers or caravans...?

Glad I found this. Great demo. Thanks a lot.

Try reading the screens in bright sunlight.

Great video :)

Don’t understand how this loophole works. The government website says that the earliest you can re-tax a vehicle is the 5th of the month in which the current tax expires. In my case it expires on 31st October so the earliest I can re-tax is 5th October 2024.

Hi, My Tesla MYLR is tax renews 01-09-24, will this hack save some tax if I taxed now 🤔

Done it for both out EVs, tx for the tip!

Great tip, thanks for posting and I just taxed my car until 2025.

Absolute genius. Saved me 8months this year and potentially another 12 next year!!

You saved my day. Thanks for this video

Thanks just did my Mokka! Shal I do the same for my MiTo as it is £0 at the moment?

Mine was due up on the 1st of May, thanks for the video !

Thank you. Saves me about 5 months but my wife was due to renew in April/May so this is a great tip - much appreciated. As per some comments while in theory you could wait until next year far better to start the process now and you can rest easy. Not against paying my fair share when it comes to it but it says a lot about our government/dvla that it is apparently fair to change the rules to charge Ev's but, unless it changes again, it is not right to backdate these changes for other more polluting cars. The unfairness is creating the divisiveness we see. Why not say EVERY car from 2025 pays the minimum of £x VED and then there can be other categories of price for the higher polluters. That's not me!

Thanks, mine was due to renew automatically in May. Renewed it today as per your video and saved ten months.

Just done it. Thanks.

Done, thank you 🙏🏾 Do you know if the luxury car tax applies retroactively or in this case only if bought from April 26 ? I bought my EV in October 2023 for £43,450 will they charge me the extra £360 luxury tax in 2026? No one I asked seams to know. Thank you. ❤

Keep my keys in a Faraday box but fortunately my Kia allows to disable keyless by holding down two buttons on the key fob

The description of this video says "From April 2025 car tax or vehicle excise duty (VED) will be payable on all electric vehicles in the UK." The "all electric vehicles" bit of that isn't correct - it's only on those first registered on or after 1 April 2017.

Works a treat, thank you for creating this video. I've shared it to my EV owning friends who are in the same position.

Done

Just done it. Thank you!

Done. Thanks pal

just done this for my EV6 and my wife's Niro EV - cheers!

Just done mine as it was due in August. I’m sure DVLA will be all over this soon stopping people doing it.😂😂

Very useful posting. My EV was just "taxed" in Feb so no particular worry there, I'll have had it 3 years in 2025 so feel I have had a decent run - it couldn't last. That said, I believe the removal of that incentive, regardless of the token (0) value, will annoy buyers and keep ICE going just that little bit longer. At the end of the day this is government admitting it can't figure out road pricing or mileage pricing. Interestingly I recently found an insurer which is offering good rates for pay-by-mile cover so for the lower mileage owner, which might just include the average EV owner, there is always a way to save.

Not sure this will work, the tax is calculated on the gov site on a month by month basis, therefore from March you’ll pay 1 month at zero and the rest of the year at the new rate. It’s partly why they make the changes a year after announcing them. Great if it does as mines always been renewed in March but I’m sure the stealers would have this covered.

Having been invited to the Republic of Congo a few years ago, I witnessed small children, covered in dirt, on the verge of starvation digging away with a short piece of rebar! I was told that the number of children involved has increased exponentially since the rise in EV production. I’m aware that the materials are used in other products, but 2020 figures put cobalt usage at 4% for petroleum products, 9% in ceramics, 19% in tools, 66% in batteries (45% being EVs), and 2% in other uses.

Slightly unrelated question I followed your instructions to remove the glove box, thanks for that info, I need to get the stereo unit out, but it is slightly blocked by some plastic on the fuse box. Any idea how to remove this? Thanks

Why not simply do this in March 2025 instead?

Didn’t work for me. Will try in a few days as I have just taxed until April 2025
